BOULDER, Colo. –
Zayo Group Holdings, Inc. (“Zayo” or “the Company”) (NYSE: ZAYO), a
global leader in Communications Infrastructure, announced results for
the three months ended June 30, 2018.

Fourth quarter operating income increased $14.9 million and net income
increased by $20.4 million over the previous quarter. Basic and diluted
net income per share during the quarter was $0.18. During the three
months ended June 30, 2018, capital expenditures were $208.0 million.

As of June 30, 2018, the Company had $256.7 million of cash and $441.9
million available under its revolving credit facility.

Recent Developments

Scott-Rice Telephone Co

On July 31, 2018, the Company closed the sale of Scott-Rice Telephone Co
(“SRT”) for $42 million to Nuvera (formerly New Ulm Telecom, Inc.). The
Company acquired SRT as part of its March 2017 purchase of Electric
Lightwave and it was reported as part of the Allstream segment. The
Company concluded that SRT was not a significant disposal group and did
not represent a strategic shift, and therefore was not classified as
discontinued operations. Scott Rice had a net loss before taxes of $1.6
million for the year ended June 30, 2018.

Share Repurchases

On May 7, 2018, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up
to $500 million of our common stock from time to time using a variety of
methods, including open market purchases, privately negotiated
transactions and other means in accordance with federal securities laws.
The authorization expires in November 2018, and may be suspended or
discontinued at any time. During the year ended June 30, 2018, the
Company repurchased 2.7 million of its outstanding common stock at an
average price of $34.02, or $93.5 million.

Potential REIT Conversion

On May 3, 2018, the Company announced that it completed the first phase
of its investigation on the advisability and feasibility of a conversion
to a real estate investment trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes
(a “REIT”). The Company has begun the next phase of its evaluation and
preparation for a potential conversion to a REIT. As part of these
efforts, the Company has begun a direct dialogue with the U.S. Internal
Revenue Service (“IRS”) in an effort to obtain clarity and support for
its position, and is seeking a private letter ruling (“PLR”) from the
IRS. The Company’s ability to qualify for taxation as a REIT will depend
upon its continuing compliance following REIT conversion with various
requirements, including requirements related to the nature of its
assets, the sources of its income and the distributions to its
stockholders.

The Company is requesting that its PLR address whether its revenues from
dark and lit fiber satisfy applicable REIT income tests, and the
Company’s ultimate decision to convert to a REIT may depend upon a
favorable ruling from the IRS on this topic. The Company submitted a PLR
request to the IRS in July 2018, but the IRS may not provide a response
until 2019 or later or may not respond at all.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company provides financial measures that are not defined under
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”),
including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, adjusted unlevered
free cash flow and levered free cash flow.

Adjusted EBITDA, as defined below and in Note 16 – Segment Reporting
of our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in
our Annual Report on Form 10-K, is the primary measure used by our chief
operating decision maker to evaluate segment operating performance.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings/(loss) from operations before
interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”)
adjusted to exclude acquisition or disposal-related transaction costs,
losses on extinguishment of debt, stock-based compensation, unrealized
foreign currency gains/(losses) on intercompany loans, and non-cash
income/(loss) on equity and cost method investments. Adjusted EBITDA
Margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue. Adjusted
unlevered free cash flow is defined as Adjusted EBITDA less purchases of
property and equipment, net of stimulus grants, plus additions to
deferred revenue, less non-cash monthly amortized revenue. Levered free
cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less
purchases of property and equipment, net of stimulus grants. Adjusted
unlevered free cash flow and levered free cash flow are not measurements
of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered in
isolation or as alternatives to net income, net cash flows provided by
operating activities, total net cash flows or any other performance
measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as alternatives to net cash
flows from operating activities or total net cash flows as measures of
our liquidity.

Adjusted EBITDA is a performance rather than cash flow measure. In
addition to Adjusted EBITDA, management uses adjusted unlevered free
cash flow, which measures the ability of Adjusted EBITDA to cover
capital expenditures. We use levered free cash flow as a measure to
evaluate cash generated through normal operating activities. These
metrics are among the primary measures used by management for planning
and forecasting future periods. We believe the presentation of Adjusted
EBITDA is relevant and useful for investors because it allows investors
to view results in a manner similar to the method used by management and
make it easier to compare our results with the results of other
companies that have different financing and capital structures. We
believe that the presentation of levered free cash flow is relevant and
useful to investors because it provides a measure of cash available to
pay the principal on our debt and pursue acquisitions of businesses or
other strategic investments or uses of capital.

We also monitor Adjusted EBITDA because our subsidiaries have debt
covenants that restrict their borrowing capacity that are based on a
leverage ratio, which utilizes a modified EBITDA, as defined in our
credit agreement and the indentures governing our notes. The modified
EBITDA is consistent with our definition of Adjusted EBITDA; however, it
includes the pro forma Adjusted EBITDA of and expected cost synergies
from the companies acquired by us during the quarter for which the debt
compliance certification is due. Adjusted EBITDA results, along with the
quantitative and qualitative information, are also utilized by
management and our Compensation Committee, as an input for determining
incentive payments to employees.

Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be
considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, analysis of our
results of operations and operating cash flows as reported under GAAP.
For example, Adjusted EBITDA:

  • does not reflect capital expenditures, or future requirements for
    capital and major maintenance expenditures or contractual commitments;
  • does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working
    capital needs;
  • does not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements
    necessary to service the interest payments, on our debt; and
  • does not reflect cash required to pay income taxes.

Adjusted unlevered free cash flow has limitations as an analytical tool
and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for,
analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. For example, adjusted
unlevered free cash flow:

  • does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working
    capital needs;
  • does not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements
    necessary to service the interest payments, on our debt; and
  • does not reflect cash required to pay income taxes.

Levered free cash flow has limitations as an analytical tool and should
not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, analysis of
our results as reported under GAAP. For example, levered free cash flow:

  • does not reflect principal payments on debt;
  • does not reflect principal payments on capital lease obligations;
  • does not reflect dividend payments, if any; and
  • does not reflect the cost of acquisitions.

Our computation of Adjusted EBITDA, and levered free cash flow may not
be comparable to other similarly titled measures computed by other
companies because all companies do not calculate these measures in the
same fashion.

Because we have acquired numerous entities since our inception and
incurred transaction costs in connection with each acquisition, borrowed
money in order to finance our operations and acquisitions, and used
capital and intangible assets in our business, and because the payment
of income taxes is necessary if we generate taxable income after the
utilization of our net operating loss carry forwards, any measure that
excludes these items has material limitations. As a result of these
limitations, these measures should not be considered as a measure of
discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our
business or as a measure of our liquidity. See “Reconciliation of
Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a quantitative reconciliation of
Adjusted EBITDA to net income/(loss) and for a quantitative
reconciliation of levered free cash flow to net cash provided by
operating activities.

Annualized revenue and annualized Adjusted EBITDA are derived by
multiplying the total revenue and Adjusted EBITDA, respectively, for the
most recent quarterly period by four. Our computations of annualized
revenue and annualized Adjusted EBITDA may not be representative of our
actual annual results.

Measures referred to as being calculated on a constant currency basis
are intended to present the relevant information assuming a constant
exchange rate between the two periods being compared. Such metrics are
calculated by applying the currency exchange rates used in the
preparation of the prior period financial results to the subsequent
period results.

Tables reconciling non-GAAP measures are included in the Reconciliation
of Non-GAAP Financial Measures section of this earnings release and in a
supplemental earnings presentation. A glossary of terms used throughout
and the supplemental earnings presentation are available under the
investor section of the Company’s website at http://investors.zayo.com.

Effective April 1, 2018, with the continued increase in our scope and
scale, the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), who is the
Company’s Chief Executive Officer, implemented certain organizational
changes to the management and operation of the business that directly
impact how the CODM makes resource allocation decisions and manages the
Company. The changes in structure had the impact of creating two new
SPGs and re-aligning an existing SPG among the Company’s reportable
segments. The changes in structure also resulted in changes in how the
Company measures the relative burden each segment bears of indirect and
corporate related costs. These changes to the existing reportable
segments have been recast for all prior period financial and operating
metrics presented in our Annual Report for comparability, and for
quarters ended September 30, 2017, December 31, 2017 and March 31, 2018
as shown below;
